Hi Sue,

EverTheOptimist I'm sorry for your loss ((((hugs))))
Ms.Dita Hello and welcome to the thread. Sue will be along shortly to give you your own special number but in the meantime, read through the first post on page 1 and get searching for more pennies to add to your starters!
Further to my post about Bank of Scotland accepting lots of bags, I just went to pay in my bags (had 8 with me today - sore shoulder now :cool:) but three of them were not full (1 x 93p, 1 x 96p, 1 x £9). I asked him if I could swap some money to fill them. I'm not sure if this is official or if the guy just "likes the ladies" but he accepted my not-full bags and paid them in too!!
Got my total ready but will declare on Thursday!!Mortgage at 12/07/2022 = £175,000
Mortgage today = £161,690.76
300 271 payments to go.House buyout fund £21,000/£40,000

Which is better than last year, and more than I thought we'd have. :beer: Not bad for the odd penny spare, here and there. I know how its going to get spent too...replacing the car bumper, with a second hand one. Seen as some kind soul, drove into ours overnight and then drive off:eek: :mad: :eek:. Ah well, as grandad used to say, "That's life.." :rotfl:
:rotfl:.
Happy potting you lot:beer:

Fantastic savings, lucyhope!!!!!! :dance::T :dance: You did briliantly to get that much over what you thought given all you've been through this year! Very well done!!!
Are you there, little_sweetie?? If so, how did you get on with the MOT yesterday? Well I hope.Whether you've declared or not, folks, keep saving that cash!! :dance:
An important note from girlatplay, folks: "I bank with Bank of Scotland and they accept as many change bags as you have, as long as you take them to the business banking counter."
Please ensure your correct Nos are on your siggies everyone!
Everyone ready for Thursday? Only...1 1/2 potting days away!!:j
Don't forget NOT to change cash via coinstar or they'll have over 10% of YOUR money!!!! :mad:
